Super quick check in. Clean and well equipped room, with lovely attention to detail like origami style folded toilet roll.
Brittnee
This was such a clean and well looked after accommodation. Check in was a breeze, the cleanliness was great and to top it off, I got to pat a fluffy cat. My son was thoroughly impressed with having his own tv.

Superb
Lovely spacious motel. Exceptionally clean.
Verified traveler
Property was very tidy. room was spacious and had all I needed in it. Bathroom was very tidy and clean and pressure was good. Loved the idea of collecting the excess water for the gardens ( as there was a water shortage in the area ) from the shower warming up. Close to town but still quiet .

See the Underworld
The facility was easy to find, within walking distance of shops but a little out of the centre. Everything was new and clean with friendly welcome. The only fault I could find (and which seems to be common so far on this trip) was no ice cube tray for the fridge!

Laddie
Good, comfortable mote
Good, comfortable motel. As a light sleeper, some traffic noise experienced from the front room. However, after 10.00pm or so it was okay as there was only the occasional truck / car. (Best to request rooms at back of the property).

.Nothing to add...……………………………………………………………………………...
Donna
The room was comfortable but had a faint smoke smell - which was stronger in the bathroom.
No fault of the owners - but the people on the other side of the wall were incredibly noisy - all night! 1.45am, 4am, 5am.... very little sleep was had.
Not sure I’d stay here again.

Everything we needed
About 35 minutes to Waitomo Adventures, which made it a perfect place to stay the night before our caving adventure. The owner was friendly, the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable, and the shower had strong water pressure. Tv and WiFi too. A friendly cat will even say hi at your window if you’re lucky!
Verified traveler
STAY HERE!!!!! It may look like a motel on the outside - but inside its 5 stars!!!!! Most comfy beds of our trip, hundreds of tv channels for the kids, nice bathroom, good little kitchen facilities. Only an easy 1/2h drive to the spectacular glow worm caves. Seriously - stay here!!!!!
Verified traveler
Great Location, Great Stay, Great Value
This is the best motel we've stayed in. The owners were friendly and accommodating. The bed was super comfortable and well equipped for disabled access, complete with parking space right outside the door. The bathroom had a walk-in shower with bench that did not flood! There was a large selection of DVDs that you can check out. In addition to the microwave and fridge, there was a 2 burner hot plate along with dishes. Te Awamatu is a delightful town, well located to attractions like Waitomo Caves, and a half hour drive to Hamilton. Raglan is a great surfing town with wonderful hikes.
Verified traveler
This is an easy convenient hotel to stay in if you are in the area. We used it as a base for our visit to Waitomo, Clean and fresh, Nice people.
Margaret
An excellent stay.
Check in was extremely good, friendly and helpful. Room was spacious with good supply of tea/coffee etc. One suggestion, a smaller bed would give room for a small bedside cabinet on both sides of the bed instead of just one side. However, that was minor. Good size bathroom and nice safe grassed area for the dog to explore. Didn't use the b.b.q area but it did look inviting. Also, the local information provided in the folder was extremely helpful. Wifi connection was also very good. Would recommend and hope to stay again sometime.
